Any experience with Ruger LC9s?
« on: February 04, 2015, 10:02:55 AM »
I'm looking to purchase one in the next couple of days and was wondering if anyone on here has one or has shot one? How do you like it? I have been reading lots of reviews but wanted to see if anyone on here has any experience with one. Thank you.

I shot my buddies new one last week. It's a little jumpy and the trigger is awful. Shot ok and cycled everything we fed it.

Thank you for the offer. I may have to take you up on that.

Was that the LC9? Or the LC9s? I heard the LC9 trigger was awful, but supposedly they fixed it in the LC9s. I'm not doubting you just want to clarify for myself.

I have the same review of my LC9. Never a hiccup in cycling. Hard, rough trigger. Good carry gun.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

I believe my wife has the lc9 but id still let you plink a few if you want.  I didn't realize the LC9s was different.

Yeah, the LC9 has an internal hammer. The LC9s is striker fired. From what I have read in my research is that by going to the striker they were able to improve the trigger pull. But everything else is pretty much the same.

I have sold both models. The LC9s is a much better model. The trigger is much better but still not a super smooth trigger. They are pretty darn reliable. I have shot the regular model about 40-50 round and been around it for another 200+ rounds and it has never had a hiccup.

No problem if you were closer I would hook you up with a great price on one. Even though I just had a member from lake stevens buy a gun from me yesterday :chuckle:

That would be nice. Too bad the gas would probably negate the savings. If I'm ever down that way I'll be sure to get something lined up with you.

I carry an LC9 and love it.  Never an issue and shoots just fine.

Check out the smith and wesson shield, better trigger and all around feel.

I believe it was just a standard LC9. FWIW I would buy my Tarus PT111 G2 100/100 times over the LC9. Maybe worth a look, about the same size and the tarus holds 12rds.  I actually bought the tarus over the XDs.
